Researching technologies is pretty important inEvony, and choosing a right order of researching them can
give you an edge in the game on a new server starting up. This guide will show
you what technologies are the most important. You can take this
as reference and start your new empire in Evony Age 2.

The Most Important Evony Technologies

From Evony Age 2 Wiki

...

Agriculture, lumbering, masonry and mining give you bonuses to your base
resource production, 10% for each level, and are pretty cheap and quick to
research. Informatics is used to scout flats, NPC villages and other players so
that is very important too. Archery gives you a bonus to your archers range,
with matters a lot in outcomes of battles where lots of archers are included, so
as soon as you start getting a few thousand archers or more it's important that
you try to get the archery technology as high as possible.

You're not going to max the important technologies right away, but try
keeping them a few levels ahead of the others. Getting informatics and archery
to level 10 should be done pretty quickly though, since it will help you a lot
especially when farming NPCs, and NPC farming is a huge part of Evony. The other
important technologies in my opinion are medicine, horseback riding, compass and
military tradition. Military tradition increases your troop training speed,
medicine saves some troops from dying in combat, horseback riding increases
mounted speed and compass increases foot soldier speed. Overall the combat
technologies are the most important, the reason you also research bonu
production technologies is cause they are very cheap and fast to research. City
technologies are not that important at all, but with time all of your
technologies should reach level 10.
